I dont regard any of those as 'bad' singers. Some have a unique style that is not everyones cup of Jack Daniels, but thats down to ones own taste.

I have not heard Gildenlow, though. Are Pain of Salvation actually a prog band, or a heavy metal band with long songs, a few odd time signatures and wierd lyrics about tortured souls, the agony of personal sacrifice etc..???

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

i think no one of those can really be a bad singer but Roger Water comes closest to what i consider a "bad singer" so my vote  goes for him. (i still think that his vocal work on Shine On is Great but the problem is that i've heard many live records where he was allowed to use a microphone)

I obviously voted for LaBrie, he goes way up and can't support it. Somebody tell him he's NOT Halford!

Another one I'd love to vote for is the world's favourite, Geoff Tate .. it seems that everybody loves him but me, in fact, I can't stand him screaming in my ear, please have mercy, you are out of range!


So, when are we gonna do a favourites poll?

I voted for Peter Hammill after consulting the 'B.B.C. lexicon of teen speak' , which suggests that 'bad' does not mean rubbish/crap/useless, but actually means very good.Viewed  from this  perspective this poll makes more sense.

BTW, if anyone says you're  'chung' means you're incredibly sexy, and if they want to 'crump' you then run away...

Now I know why my teenage children say i'm 'hanging'

First af all let me just say that none of them sing bad. I voted for Roger Waters and now Im kinda sorry I did. And all thouse people who critizise Greddy Lee...come on you guys, he does not sing that bad...I actually like his voice in albums like Moving Pictures or Permanent Waves. But I can´t believe that there were some put Jon Anderson or Peter Gabriel...WHAT THE HELL MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! We are talking about maybe the 2 most important prog singers!!! And also Hmmil. Well I understand why so many people dislike Hammils voice...when I first started listeting to Van der..(you know the rest) I could not satnd Hammils voice...but now...I think its one of the best and with most expretion voice there is.

But any way, I think this kinda polls where you put "the best" are really stupid. I think it should be the siger you dont like the most...not the worst...what is worst for some is the best for others...think about that you Hammil haters!!!!

jejejeje peace...prog on!

Oh C'mon guys, all these guys are at least GREAT talent-wise, don't go heavily on Geddy Lee and James Labrie because these two have a load of talent.

Just try singing like them!

I think Geddy Lee has a very annoying voice sometimes, so i voted for him.

BTW, In the first edition of the 'Rolling Stone Record Guide' from 1979, it says: "He Sounds like a cross between Donald Duck and Robert Plant". LOL!

None of the singers in the list are bad singers, but c'mon ... Peter Gabriel?
He has the most amazing voice in prog/pop history. How can anyone vote
him as a bad singer?

From that list I would choose Roger Waters. Hes not a bad singer. Even in
vintage PF albuns the singing was almost done by Guilmour or Wright. He
told in interviews that he didnt like to hear his voice on tape. Only in
animals and the wall he started to feel confident.

But he's not a bad singer.

Sometimes I really can't stand  Jon Anderson's  voice.  Yet sometimes it is beautiful, but other times he reminds me of a smurf. Maybe I listen to the wrong songs of Yes...

Let's put it this way: Geddy Lee's voice doesn't really make me happy  .

im lucky for liking Geddy's voice- I get to enjoy rush all the more- I think the singers from system of a down are the worst- and Maynard is really starting to annoy the hell out of me- down with tool!

none of the above- i thought this was a prog site- guess not. Geddy rocks- your all morons if you said he is "really bad" ----wow

 

I agree with the above except for the 'morons' comment. All of the above can annoy me at one point or other, but none of them are bad singers.

I can only support this, though my choice of words would be different. One may not like his voice or the way he uses it, but saying he has a bad one is simply lunatic.

I can only add what Rober Fripp, guitar player of King Crimson, said about Peter Hammill: "What Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar, Peter Hammill did for the voice". Amen to that!
